There are no words that I can say that will even come close to how much I love you and miss you. You were mine and Brianna’s everything. You did so much for the two of us. You have shown me what a great amazing mother is and guided me to be the best I can be for Brianna. Thank you for taking such good care or us, and for loving us with all your heart and soul. You are forever in my thoughts and there is not going to be a second that goes by that I do not think about you and miss you. ♥️ watch over all of us, as I know you are doing. Shine bright my sweet mother. Till we meet again Mom! I love you!!
